The images on the front page are a bit heavy for its size. If you, like me are on the other side of the Atlantic they load a bit slow. Its nothing that is to slow, but its noticeable. I attached a example below. Your thumbnail is 150kb and if i save it as a jpg with the compression factor to 15 (out of 100) it becomes four times smaller and still has what i think, the same quality.
Also the large images of your chips are on the heavy side. For example the NATIONAL SEMI IMP16 SET.jpg are 1870kb. The image are 750x2320 pixels but you only show ~331x1024 on the screen, resizing it with html. If i save it with the size you show it, it becomes only 73kb, 25 times smaller and then 25 times faster to load without losing quality.
So my recommendation, re-save the images as jpgs with a bit of compression and save the large images in the actual size they are displayed. That would make the page load a bit faster.
Its nothing that makes the page not viewable, but its a bit annoying watching the 1702 load like images did when i was on my 33.6k modem.

Thanks for the input guys, To begin with I am in the progress of rescanning all my chips in a slightly smaller and uniformed dpi instead of how they are now with varieties of scan quality, with an extremely uniform backround. I noticed as I was adding pics that no matter how straight I put them on the page they still are all crooked, as a result of my scanning them to begin with. I also have adjusted the saved jpegs to the suggested compressions and it should make for an overall better looking and faster loading shot of each chip. The changes are not up yet on the site but they will be sooner or later. Keep all this great input coming as it really helps me alot. Thanks

Nice job, Carl.
Your site looks very professional and it now loads fast!
The pictures are great except the dark chips don't show off as well with the black background.
White chips look good with the dark background though. 
Congrats!

Hi,
your site looks great!
The BOARDS section is very nice. IMHO the best is the Tektronix card with Motorola MC2901 chips. Great card!
